  • We've all been there - something in our past, or our current situation, is less than glamorous. Maybe a little white lie, or a strategically withheld embarrassing detail will be just the thing we need to qualify for a visa.
    DON'T DO IT! Former Visa Officer and Licensed U.S. Immigration Attorney Travis Feuerbacher explains why telling the truth is so important in the visa application and interview process, and what may happen if you get caught in a lie.

    Well not necessarily for the 6C1. A lot of people get (d)(3) waivers on the NIV side, and 212(h) on the IV side, but only for IR cases.

    My daughter-in-law was petitioned by her mom who is a US citizen since last 2012, I-130. My question is how long will it still take for her family to be able to come or to get a notice from NVC? The reason I asked is because it’s been 12 years already in waiting.
    Thank you so much.

    My sister has a nationality of US but she stay in GCC region permanently since 10 years, and she just travel to US ever year or two year maximum 14 days.
    If i answered the question of “Do you have immediate relatives in US” with “No”, is this considered a case of lying ?

    Unfortunately, there are still 19th century interviews in the internet century in U.S embassies! I wish you could learn how to qualify online from Canada. I was rejected two months ago in less than 30 seconds in the interview at the American embassy in Armenia, even though I am a real tourist, having traveled to more than twenty countries and three continents.

    what are the chances of my tourist visa for the states to visit my younger brother who's currently pursuing in undergrads in Southeast Missouri State University on computer science with a sound amount of scholarship. i want to visit him but i heard my age is a red flag for my amaerican visa application if i apply alone. im 23 years of age. if age does not count for the american tourist visa then i'd love to book an appointment with you. note - moreover my dad has been visiting USA since 1989 and his last tourist visa was expired in 2001.

      You should mention her when you fill out your DS-160 form. The Visa Officer likely knows she's there anyway, so be honest, and prepare to explain how she legally immigrated to the USA.

      State Universities are generally fantastic options for education in the United States. The specific school is not that important. What's most important is that you can explain why you chose the school, why you hope to study in the United States, what your degree will mean to you, etc.
